Hello everyone . I am 17 days post op and I am having a hard time finding things to eat. Everything I try upsets my stomach and I'm not hungry at all. Today I had a string cheese, and 2 bites of shredded chicken. Im nervous because I don't want to get in a habit of not eating. I need a plan, please help.

I am having my surgery tomorrow. My Dr said I will be on Protein Drinks etc; no food until my post op until 7/26/17. I am on liquid now and have been since yesterday. Ugh.... I will be watching your post because I'm going to want to know what to eat. I google everything, but its good to get ideas from other people who are going though it.

Best advice is to not buy too much of one thing in the beginning I am 17 days out after gastric sleeve. I have a pantry full of boxes of Bone Broth ,cream Soups, and a frig full of different Protein Shakes I hate. I found a protein milk at publix called Rockin refuel it's awesome. chocolate taste just like chocolate milk and the vanilla taste like icecream. Has 30 grams protein. And I love oikos triple zero Greek yogurt has 15 grams protein the strawberry and salted caramel are my favorites. I got some unflavored Protein Powder to add to my soups. I've made a smoothie using fat free skim milk protein powder and fresh strawberries added splenda. Also crushed ice is my friend. I go to sonic and get bags of pellet ice and keep in my fridge. When I need to chomp on something it's there. Hope this helps.

Sylvia...Thanks for your suggestions. Being the fanatic I am, I also have Protein powder and everything coming out of my cupboards. LOL

We do not have Public here but I can check for that Rockin brand somewhere or order it on-line.

How long before you can go on soft foods? How long were you in the hospital?

Are you feeling well since its 17 days?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
